No fancy steps, just pure joy in a small batch, measured in grams for ease. Let’s dive into the joy of making this sunken chocolate goodness—because who can resist a little homemade happiness?
**Ingredients:**
– 150g unsalted butter, melted
– 150g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
– 30g cocoa powder
– 80g all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 150g granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
– A pinch of salt
– 100g chocolate chips
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard-sized loaf pan.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together. You can use a microwave in short bursts or a double boiler. Stir until smooth and let it cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly pale.
5. Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
6. Gently fold in the sifted dry ingredients until you have a smooth batter.
7. Stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes or until the edges are set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
10. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. As it cools, the center will sink, creating a delightful sunken effect.
11. Once cooled, carefully remove the cake from the pan and transfer it to a serving plate.
12. Slice and enjoy this indulgent sunken chocolate loaf cake with a dusting of cocoa or a dollop of whipped cream.
This small-batch recipe guarantees a rich, fudgy, and visually striking chocolate loaf cake. Perfect for a cozy gathering or an intimate dessert experience!
